L. woLFsoN's MILLINERY.

1t is probably one OF the most difficult
1bIeEIakings 70. attempt the description
OF fret class millinery establishment;
this is specially the case when viewing
the many fold devices, shapes. shades,
forms and styles OF the multiforum stock
of the millinery department at "Wolf-
sons Fashion Bazaar" The assortment
OF unfinished head dress 10 the way OF
hats and bonnets In their various mate
rails and qualities, are immense, and n o
lady need 20 away without making q
choice and selecting her trimmings,
while all can be suited or get matched
In colors to their respective dresses. 1t
the brims OF the new hats
are caprlciously shaped, turning up
deeply on one side, short at the back
and projecting over the face; they, as
already stated NOTED, two toned and
striped. Among tue prominent styles
may be mentioned as again fashionable,
feather turbans made OF tips OF
Pheasants or doves. Feathers generally
have again become part OF the leading
styles, especially those largely long and
slender In shape rather than round. The
low crowned aToques" Of English styles
are becoming highly fashionable for
well adapted to high or low coifiure.
The "Bo peep" or "pointed poke"
bonnet worn without strings will again
be quite figure during the coming
season, and highly fashionable. Scotch
turbsns come In the market with low
crowns, but high trimmings In
front. For little girls from four to
the teens, small pokes OF felt or round
sailor shapes turned up 10 black, quaint,
soft-crowned bonnets Of surah, velvet or
cashmere, will command prominent
enquiry through the season, and while
the crowns OF little girls and misses are
considerably lower the loops OF ribbons
or vclvets with which they are trimmed
will give the height required. Among
the many oddities OF trimming material,
may be mentioned beads OF every size
and style, In new compositions, forms
and shapes, have just been received;
cock plumes, fancy feathers and wings,
new ribbons In endless variety, odd com
binatioDs that surpass anything In rich
meas. color or quality, have been i'm
ported. One Of the greatest novelties OF
the season will be boas Of ostrich feath-
ers; of these all black or black and white
will be the most favored. 10 sum 1t up
1t will be seen that diversity will be the
prevailing characteristic Of the coming
millinery season.
The display OF the millinery depart
menr at l.. Wolfson's bazaar is now In
readiness, and no better place could be
found to choose your Christmas present
for wife, daughter or sister. The ladies
are hereby given a special Invitation to
call and examine the immense stock.

SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE.

suffered from a milk leg. Nothing would do
her any good. She had the best medical tai.
emit, but they all did her no good. She suffered
with hei leg for thirty years and never knew a
well day. she would have to set up half the
night, holding up her leg and moaning. She
had no peace. She used all the best known
remedies in the country without effect. i
asked her to try your CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Got her a bottle OF CUTICURA REsOLvENT, and
she took 1t, and has taken in all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is a well woman
to-day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can go out every
day, something she has not done in ten years,
so you see / cannot help stating to you about
your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES. You

words to express my gratitude. / have adj
